The Troy Aikman Foundation
(From The Troy Aikman Foundation brochure)
HISTORY
The Troy Aikman Foundation was founded in October of 1992 through
the generosity and beneficence of Dallas Cowboys Quarterback Troy
Aikman.
The Foundation is a public charitable 501 (c)3 organization created
as a fund-raising vehicle to support the needs of dependent children.
MISSION
The mission of the Troy Aikman Foundation is to provide financial
support for the physical, psychological, social and educational
needs of dependent children whose needs are not being met, either
in whole or in part, by any other viable resource.
GIFTS & GRANTS
Needs are identified through referrals from community and religious
organizations, educational institutions, child protective agencies
and the general public.
Requests for grants and gifts are accepted and reviewed througout
the year. All requests are subject to board approval, and gifts
are made based on funds available at the time of the request.
All gifts must provide "direct care" to a specific chld
or group of children. It is the Foundation's intent to provide
funds to individuals who have exhausted all other avenues of support.
GOLF & GALA
The annual Troy Aikman Golf & Gala provides the major source
of revenue for the Foundation. Local organizations and corporations
also contribute in broadening the base of funding by naming the
Foundation as recipient of funds raised at their own special events
during the year.
